Diana: Designing A Princess

Brenda Emmanus looks at some of Diana, Princess of Wales' most celebrated and exquisite dresses brought together for an exhibition of her clothes at Kensington Palace in February.

2017 is the 20th anniversary of the death of Diana, Princess of Wales. As one of the most famous women on the planet, Diana had an acute sense of the importance of fashion, controlling her own image and understanding that clothing could be an art form with extraordinary possibilities to convey message and meaning. This programme, produced in collaboration with Historic Royal Palaces and presented by Brenda Emmanus, will look at some of Diana's most celebrated and exquisite dresses brought together for a new exhibition of her clothes at Kensington Palace in February. Brenda will visit the Conservation Studio at Hampton Court Palace as the dresses are prepared for display; and she will hear from historians, cultural commentators and the designers who dressed Diana, including Elizabeth Emanuel, Victor Edelstein and David Sassoon.
